Your Army All-American Bowl Open Thread

Seven Ohio State commits will be in action for the US Army All-American Bowl. The seven, appearing in the group photo above, are (L-R) Johnnie Dixon, Dante Booker, Damon Webb, Demetrius Knox, Marcelys Jones, Jalyn Holmes and Curtis Samuel.

Couldn't agree more. NBC and the Army do a great job putting this game on. ESPiN and Under Armour put on kind of a joke game with ridiculous jerseys and only really mention players from the south and those going to SEC schools. The Army game shows players from all over the country and talks about all the confrences. Really impressed with this game and how the Army and NBC have put it on. It really makes ESPiN look bad.

These games can't totally pick their lineups based on setting up everything position-wise. My guess is that he just is more versatile than some of the other guys (also I believe at least a couple teams recruited him on defense). Apparently he will play a bit on offense as well.

If Erick Smith chooses elsewhere, does that mean that Lattimore will choose there too? I've gotten the impression that the two have kind of parted from the package deal idea if Smith doesn't want to be a Buckeye.

Is the university of ohio state like some kind of running joke among commits that I don't get. I saw the Berger tweet from the other day and I'm starting to think I'm getting to old to fully comprehend these gosh darn kids.

Also looking at the 24/7 rankings they keep referencing, he is the 3rd ranked OLB behind Christian Miller (committed to Bama) and Dante Booker. He is also the 4th ranked overall linebacker behind Raekwon (who is the third overall linebacker).

This guy has no idea what he is talking about.

The answer may not be at the bottom of a bottle, but it never hurts to check.

i may be mistaken, but didnt terrelle pryor say "u of ohio state' during his anouncement too? i always thought it was to troll u of m, because it was down to OSU and UM for pryor and no one was really sure where he would go. i remember michigan fans thinking he was going to UM because he said university to start.

that how i am going to look at the smith commitment, because i like to think michigan fans are being trolled.

Webb had 1 PBU early on on a 3rd and long. Besides that it seems like he hasn't gotten thrown to. Reports all week were that he was "quiet" because he had blanket coverage on everyone and no QB would throw his way. I love when you can't notice a CB.

Players to announce in the second half:
Third Quarter
- Matt Elam was scheduled for this slot but now will not announce today
- Frank Iheanacho, WR, Houston (Texas) Westside
Oregon, Arkansas, Texas A&M, LSU and Missouri are his announced finalists.
- Bryce Dixon, TE, Ventura (Calif.) St. Bonaventure
UCLA and USC are the finalists.
Fourth Quarter
-Nyles Morgan, LB, Crete (Ill.) Monee
Notre Dame and Vanderbilt are the finalists.
- Marshon Lattimore, CB, Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville
Ohio State and Alabama are the legitimate contenders.
- Joe Mixon, RB, Oakley (Calif.) Freedom
Mixon has named Wisconsin, UCLA and Oklahoma as his final three.

Yeah I get the SEC connection, but at some point doesn't the general public who is indifferent towards the SEC get tired of it? Even if I was a fan of an SEC team outside of Bama, and LSU I'd get tired of it.

I wish Wisconsin had gotten Mixon but great pickup for the Sooners. For the B1G reputation to improve, all of the teams in the conference need to start recruiting better. Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Penn State, etc. The conference improvement will help the Buckeyes become a better team as well.

Hopefully the performance of future Buckeyes in today's game and two more impressive commitments to one of the nation's best recruiting classes will help some folks begin to inch away from the ledge after last night's game. Watching the Army All-American Bowl was therapeutic - the sun will rise tomorrow.
